Coffee as it should be. Just try ordering a cortado-- it will come with a glass of sparkling water (as it should). This is a great convenient spot right on Main Street. Their burrito is my most recent love & if you've been active all day walking / running, check out their fridge for a canned LMNT electrolyte beverage. Also, thank you O&A for keeping latte art alive & well. read more

Coffee is good; specialty coffees below average. Customer service at Waterside location is very poor; staff behavior suggests that they don't want to be there and don't want to provide service. Limited indoor seating; ambiance when seated outside is scenic, and comfortable. In summary, the service is a dealbreaker and won't be going back. read more

This is the perfect little coffee shop in Sarasota. The aesthetic is very 2016 hipster - in a good way. So it doesn't feel outdated by any means. My favorite part of the shop is actually interacting with the baristas. They are so funny and friendly. Fortunately the coffee lives up to the atmosphere and service. The cold brew is awesome. It's definitely a pricey caffeine fix - buuuuuut it's downtown Sarasota so it would be weird if it wasn't. read more

O&A does not have ANY type of cream. Majority of Americans add cream to their coffee so why is this not an option? They are not a vegan/vegetarian coffee shop so why not offer the most common coffee additive?? So confused. The coffee also took about 10 minutes to prepare which is fine when it's pour-over style. What I did not appreciate was the barista acting like I had an attitude for waiting. I simply walked over to a hightop sat and looked at my phone until the coffee was ready. I only went here because Breaking Wave next door was closed. Will definitely take O&A off my list of coffee shops. read more

When I tell you that I have NEVER experienced such disgusting customer service... I work in the coffee industry. I have been for 6 years, & w/ that I've visited MANY shops in my day. And this experience was by far the absolute worst. The second we walked In there, immediate silence and what seemed like avoidance. Snickering between both baristas before even looking my direction. My sisters Matcha took forever for them to make, and my cold brew was average. honestly nothing special. When asked how they make their matcha, I was given the "get out of my face" response. Her exact words were "oh just like regular" LOL okay that doesn't explain anything... they didn't even call out our drinks for us to grab, they didn't say a word to us UNLESS WE asked first. Maybe I just have high expectations since I do manage a coffee shop.. If any of my baristas treated customers this way they would be warned, written up and then fired if the behavior stayed. Lol good luck getting new customers, telling everyone to stay away from this place. 2 baristas (don't know their names) both female working 10:30am June 12th 2021. read more

Expert made coffee, based on season and elevation... I don't know the science behind it... But Justin sure does! Probably one of the best kept secrets in Sarasota Downtown area. Whenever I am in the area, I can't help but gravitate to get a cup.

From the Business

Specialties

Starting at the age of six, O&A Owner and Founder Justin Banister began his mornings with his grandfather over a cup of coffee. Justin took his cream and sugar with a little bit of coffee while grandpa preferred his black and boiling. Justin believes that these cherished moments with grandpa is where his love for coffee took root. A few years later, at the age of 13, Justin began traveling abroad through Central and South America where he learned about the origins of coffee through agriculture and farming. Witnessing the farmers’ passion for their work and the rich culture and family connections within the industry was inspiring. Justin admired their genuine care for community growth, and it was then that he began drinking his coffee black, keeping it as pure and original to the authentic taste and subtleties that naturally arise. From there, his daily routine was only complete with black coffee.

O & A Coffee Supply was a really lovely coffee stop. The coffee was excellent--really smooth and well made. I had a hot vanilla latte and my friend had a hot almond milk latte, and both were perfect. I could have easily had a second, but I had to stop myself from overdoing the caffeine. We sat outside at a small table and just caught up, which made the whole stop feel even better. There's just something about a great local coffee shop--nothing beats a small, local coffee spot like this. Simple, calm, and really enjoyable. I'd definitely come back. read more

The line is always worth the wait -- grab a spot on one of the cozy couches or sit in the sun outdoors (pup approved!) while you wait for your beverage or one of the delicious breakfast items. One of my favorite memories from visiting Perq for many years: I once grabbed a few coffees and pastries to bring to a friend. I accident left a muffin behind. The owner took the time to track me down and send a message over social media letting me know they think I left it behind and they'd hold it for me or I could have a credit towards a future visit. Unreal. If you have visited Perq before you know there was likely a line yet the owners took note of this and took the time to go above and beyond. I'm grateful for this slice of neighborhood caffeine heaven. Congrats on 13 years

After seeing great reviews online, I was so excited to try Perq. I was in Sarasota for the day and…read moremy usual breakfast spot is closed on Mondays. I placed an order online for food ahead of time. I was also going to place an order for coffee online, but their menu and online ordering system is confusing. When I pulled up, I realized parking was going to be an issue. Your only option is street parking in a very busy part of town. They have plenty of spots in the back, but they are reserved for employees only. All but one of the employee spots were available. After circling the block a few times, I was able to park a block away on the street. When I walked in, I mentioned I was picking up food but I also wanted to order a coffee. The man at the counter rudely told me that I had to pick up my food at the counter in the back. When I asked if they had nonfat milk, I was again met with an attitude and he said "we only have local milk and three dairy alternatives." It was very clear that I wasn't being respected because I wasn't a local. Imagine my surprise when a small/medium sized latte, with no syrup, was $9.10. Absolute highway robbery for an average latte. For food, I ordered an avocado toast with shaved egg. I had a much better experience interacting with the woman at the food window. She was incredibly kind, made an effort to talk to me and my food was ready 20 minutes early. It was good and fresh, but I now know that I'm not a fan of the texture of shaved eggs. I'm in Sarasota a few times a year and I will absolutely not be going back.

This place is soooo good…read more My group and I accidentally stumbled into this place randomly without knowing they closed in 5 minutes. They didn't show any annoyance though and happily took our orders. We ordered one strawberry banana and one piña colada smoothie. The piña colada one was kind of crazy. I don't know what they put in that but it literally taste like the real thing. It was perfect in the heat. We also ordered a caramel mocha iced coffee and a strawberry matcha. They were honestly both very good. The employees got our drinks out very fast and they even gave us some great recommendations of things to check out! The inside was cute and had a few tables available.

They accept tap. There is free street parking for 2hrs (there are some times and dates specified when it's not) and there's a free parking lot as well. On a friday morning, parking right outside the cafe was easy. Indoor and outdoor seating. They offer canned drinks and seltzers, as well.
